Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient must be at least 18 years of age
  • Patient is able to verbally confirm understanding of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving the DESolve NE BCSS and he/she provides written informed consent, as approved by the appropriate Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site, prior to any clinical study related procedure
  • Patient must have evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., stable or unstable angina, silent ischemia, positive functional study or electrocardiogram (ECG) changes consistent with ischemia)
  • Patient must be an acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
  • Patient must agree to undergo all clinical study required follow-up visits
  • Patient must agree not to participate in any other clinical study for a period of two years following the index procedure

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria - Target Lesion/Vessel Target lesion must be located in a native coronary artery with a nominal vessel diameter of between 2.75 and 3.5 mm assessed by visual estimation or QCA

  • Target lesion must measure ≤ 24 mm in length
  • Target lesion must be in a major artery or branch with a visually estimated stenosis of ≥ 50% and < 90% with a TIMI flow of ≥ 1
  • Percutaneous intervention of lesions in the target vessel if:
  • Not part of a clinical investigation
  • ≥ 6 months prior to the study index procedure
  • ≥ 9 months after the study index procedure (planned)
  • Previous intervention was distal to and > 10 mm from the target lesion
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient has a known diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 72 hours preceding the index procedure and CK and CK-MB have not returned within normal limits at the time of procedure
  • Patient is currently experiencing clinical symptoms consistent with AMI
  • Patient requires the use of any rotablator intervention during the index procedure
  • Patient has current unstable arrhythmias
  • Patient has a known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 30%
  • Patient has received a heart transplant or any other organ transplant or is on a waiting list for any organ transplant
  • Patient is receiving or scheduled to receive chemotherapy for malignancy within 30 days prior to or after the procedure
  • Patient is receiving immunosuppression therapy and has known immunosuppressive or autoimmune disease (e.g. human immunodeficiency virus, systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • Patient is receiving chronic anticoagulation therapy (e.g., heparin, Coumadin) that cannot be stopped and restarted according to local hospital standard procedures
  • Patient has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, both heparin and bivalirudin, both clopidogrel and ticlopidine, Novolimus, PLLA polymers or contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  • Elective surgery is planned within the first 6 months after the procedure that will require discontinuing either aspirin or clopidogrel
  • Patient has a platelet count < 100,000 cells/mm3 or > 700,000 cells/mm3, a WBC of < 3,000 cells/mm3, or documented or suspected liver disease
  • Patient has known renal insufficiency (e.g., serum creatinine level of more than 2.5 mg/dL, or patient on dialysis)
  • Patient has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusions
  • Patient has had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic neurological attack (TIA) within the past six months
  • Patient has had a significant GI or urinary bleed within the past six months
  • Patient has extensive peripheral vascular disease that precludes safe 6 French sheath insertion
  • Patient has other medical illness (e.g., cancer or congestive heart failure) or known history of substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, heroin etc.) that may cause non-compliance with the clinical study plan, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a limited life expectancy (i.e., less than one year)
  • Patient is already participating in another clinical study
  • Women of childbearing potential who have not undergone surgical sterilization or are not post-menopausal (defined as amenorrheic for at least one year) as well as women who are pregnant or nursing
  • Patient is unable to give their consent, is legally incompetent, or is institutionalized by virtue of an order issued by the courts or other authority

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria - Target Lesion/Vessel

  • Target lesion(s) meets any of the following criteria:
  • Aorto-ostial location
  • Left main location
  • Located within 5 mm of the origin of the LAD or LCX
  • Located within an arterial or saphenous vein graft or distal to a diseased arterial or saphenous vein graft
  • Lesion involving a side branch >2mm in diameter or bifurcation
  • Previous placement of a scaffold proximal to or within 10 mm of the target lesion
  • Total occlusion (TIMI flow 0), or sub-total occlusion (TIMI flow 1)
  • Excessive tortuosity proximal to or within the lesion
  • Angulation (≥ 45o) proximal to or within the lesion
  • Calcification moderate or heavy
  • Previous intervention restenosis
